There is still much to be done in the US, without a doubt. I feel too many think the marriage equality win was the be-all-to-end-all for gay equality...it wasn't; it is simply one more layer of street leading us to equality. What I am finding interesting are the countries backsliding on GLBT issues, such as Turkey and Russia, and what those movements could have in store for LGBT people, not only in those countries, but in other countries where inroads have been made in GLBT equality. Sadly, many places are backsliding (or getting worse) because of American influence from the obsessed right-wing, fundamentalist groups exporting their "crazy" to other places.
